Transcription

1 Contact: Liza Andrews, Public Policy Director (860) x27 Highlights of the FY11 Midterm Budget (February 2010) This document compiles line items of interest within state agencies of interest and major human service funding items included in the midterm budget adjustments. The figures and information provided in this document do not reflect all line items in each agency budget, but reflect those that are most likely to impact state funded members and service recipients. Link to Midterm : Link to Power Point Presentation: Link to State of the State Address: GENERAL OVERVIEW: The Governor proposed an $18.9 billion FY11 budget that relies heavily on one-time dollars, such as federal stimulus money for Medicaid. Her proposed budget contains approximately $30 million less in spending than the FY11 budget adopted by the Legislature this past fall, as well as no tax or fee increases. By using one-time dollars and not including revenues as part of the solution, the Governor fails to address the structural deficit, leaving gaps of approximately $3 billion in both FY12 and FY13. In many instances, the Governor has annualized reductions from FY10 and some of the earlier rescissions have been proposed as permanent reductions. The Governor is requesting several budget reforms, including: immediately transfer 50% of the Comptroller s projected surplus to the Budget Reserve Fund (Rainy Day Fund) in January and May as opposed to using the dollars to pay for on-going expenditures; automatically repeal any bond funds that have not been allocated within five years of authorization; and enhance her rescission authority to as much as 15% of any appropriation when the General Fund has a deficit of 5% or greater. Major highlights include: No across-the-board funding cuts to private providers Implementation of Keno Anticipated extension of ARRA (Medicaid, IV-E FMAP, State Fiscal Stabilization Fund) totaling $365.6 million in revenue Reduce certain non-entitlement accounts within DSS by 25% (includes Human Infrastructure, Community Services, Safety Services, etc.) Reduce unfunded mandates on municipalities by requiring a 2/3 vote of the General Assembly to enact any new unfunded mandate COLA: There is no additional funding recommended for private provider cost of living increases (COLA) FY11. There is also no across-the-board reduction to private providers.

3 DSS cont d Annualize FY10 Reductions. Reduction: $3,207,489 Convert HUSKY to a Non-Risk Model: This proposal will revamp managed care from an at risk arrangement to a non-risk contract with the program continuing under an administrative services organization (AS0) arrangement, thereby reducing administrative costs that often exceed 11.5% per member per month. Reduction: $28,800,000 Impose Cost-Sharing Requirements on Individuals Receiving Medicaid Services: DSS will require co-pays of up to $3.00 per service on allowable medical services (excluding hospital inpatient, emergency room, home health, laboratory, and transportation services), not to exceed 5% of family income. Co-pays for pharmacy services will be capped at $20 per month. Children under 18, individuals at or below 100% of the FPL, SSI recipients, pregnant women, women being treating for breast or cervical cancer, and individuals in institutional settings will be exempted. Reduction: $9,000,000 Remove Coverage for Most Over-the-Counter Drugs under DSS Pharmacy Programs: Remove coverage for most over-the-counter drugs with the exception of insulin and insulin syringes. Coverage will continue for children under the age of 21 on HUSKY A. Reduction: $7,670,000 Reduce Funding for Certain Non-Entitlement Accounts: 25% reduction to non-entitlement accounts including: Children s Trust Fund, Employment Opportunities, Safety Services, Human Resources Development, Community Services, Human Services Infrastructure Community Action Program, and Day Care Projects. Reduction: $6,262,998 Restructure Non-Emergency Medical Transportation under Medicaid: Transportation options under Medicaid will be expanded to include stretcher van service for those individuals who are medically stable but must lie flat during transport. Current regulations require ambulance service for individuals who are stretcher bound, which is significantly more expensive. Reduction: $5,900,000 Restrict Vision Services for Adults under Medicaid: DSS will no longer cover eyeglasses, contact lenses and services provided by optometrists. DSS will still cover services provided by ophthalmologists and all services for children under the age of 21 on HUSKY A. Reduction: $4,600,000 Update Medical Necessity and Appropriateness Definition under Medicaid: Replace the outdated definition of medical necessity with the definition used under SAGA and combines the concepts of medical necessity and appropriateness as is done in Medicare and commercial health care programs. Reduction: $4,500,000 Limit Premium Assistance under the Charter Oak Health Plan: DSS will limit premium assistance to clients who are enrolled by June 30, Lower income individuals that enroll after that date will be responsible for the full premium. Reduction: $4,200,000 Suspend Funding for the Transportation for Employment Independence Program: Eliminates funding for work-related transportation activities for adults eligible for TANF. Reduction: $3,155,532 Return SAGA to a Fee-for-Service Structure: During the SAGA restructure, contractors were responsible for managing ancillary medical services as well as a fixed pool of dollars for primary care and specialty services. Despite recent carve-outs for pharmacy and dental services, and the addition of Medicaid coverage for primary care and specialty services, $2.8 million will still be expended annually to cover SAGA contractors administrative costs. Savings will be achieved by eliminating these costs and processing all claims through the Medicaid claims processing system. This change will have no impact on the ability of SAGA clients to receive the necessary medical care. Reduction: $2,340,000 Adjust SAGA FQHC Payments to 90% of Medicaid Rates: FQHCs are the only providers that receive full reimbursement. This proposal will reduce FQHC rates under SAGA to 90% of the Medicaid rates. Reduction: $1,700,000 Modify Premium Payment Requirements under HUSKY B: Monthly premiums for families between 236%-300% of FPL will be increased to $50 for families with one child (currently $30) and $75 for families with two or more children (currently $50). Reduction: $1,440,000 Remove Limited Vision and Non-Emergency Medical Transportation Benefits under SAGA: These expanded benefits, approved by the Legislature in FY07, are eliminated. Reduction: $1,400,000 Revise Medicare Pare D Co-payment Requirements for Dually Eligible Clients: Monthly co-payment responsibility will be raised from $15 per month to $20 per month. Reduction: $1,100,000 Expand DSS Preferred Drug List to include all Mental Health Drugs: Currently, all new mental health prescriptions are subject to the preferred drug list, this will expand it to existing mental health prescriptions. Prior authorization will be required to receive coverage of any mental health drug that is not on the preferred drug list. Reduction: $1,040,000 3

4 DSS cont d Delay Implementation of the HIV/AIDS Waiver: Delay waiver application to provide additional services beyond those traditionally offered under Medicaid for up to 100 persons living with symptomatic HIV/AIDS. Reduction: $1,000,000 Align HUSKY B Co-pay Requirements to State Employee Health Plans: Currently, HUSKY B co-pays are in line with state-employee co-pay requirements at the time HUSKY B was developed. This proposal realigns co-pay requirements to remain consistent with current and future state-employee co-pay requirements, not to exceed 5% of a family s gross annual income. Reduction: $710,000 Suspend Funding for HUSKY Outreach: Individuals will continue to access information regarding services through other avenues, such as the DSS website, community action agencies, doctors offices, and regional offices. Reduction: $671,129 Shift Support for Independent Living Centers to Federal Funds: Suspend state funding to the state s five independent living centers in FY11 due to the availability of ARRA funds. Reduction: $643,927 Suspend Funding for Parent Trust Fund under the Children s Trust Fund: Suspend funding for grants to private providers to educate parents in becoming involved citizens and advocates in their communities and schools.
